Judging
The winners of the Provider Awards in each category will be the companies that achieve the highest number of nominations/best rating from paraplanners. In the event of a tie, the comments accompanying the nominations made by paraplanners will be used to identify the winner.
The winners of the Paraplanner Awards will be determined by a panel of judges drawn from the industry.
For all the awards, Professional Paraplanner’s Editor is the head judge, whose decision will be final.
